This is (more or less) how it was styled on the website, with white jeans (these are the cropped matchstick and either I got fat or they shrunk on me):
Please look down at the shoes. I decided that instead of buying another pair of Revas that I don't need this minute I would try to get the Miller sandals in patent white with the Bloomindgdales F&F 20% off discount. I said try because they are not currently available in white on the website and since my daughter is in Spring Break I had to drag her to Bloomis. At least we had a playdate before that wasn't far so we stopped at Bloomingdales on our way back home. They weren't on the selling floor but I had seen them the last time that I was there (months ago) so I asked and they did have them in my size. These fit TTS, there is a bit of space between the toe and the end of the shoe but I wouldn't size down (pardon my feet, they need a pedi):
I already had a pair of Miller in metallic gold and wore them to death but truth to be told the golden part on the insole came off pretty quickly and I was a bit disappointed that shoes that expensive would do that (I won't buy the gold again). Patent should last longer.
That's it! It is a weekend full of temptations: beides Bloomingdales. Milly is also having a F&F event (20% off everything with code SPRINGSALE) and for those in NYC the French brand Comptoir des Cottonniers is having its first sample sale ever (see details at www.clothingline.com). Happy shopping!
A sample sale for Comptoir des Cotonniers?? I am so envious!!! CDC is one of my favourite brands - if they were available in Canada I would probably spend as much money there as I do with J. Crew (and that is saying something!!).
ReplyDeleteThe Tory Burch sandals look great on you. Hope you have a good weekend!
I am surprised that it isn't available in Canada. I didn't realize how popular they are becoming here until they opened a store in my neighborhood almost across from JCrew. I am actually standing in a line at the sample sale, I will update you if I find something worth it (I was eyeing a couple of things in store but the markup is hard to stomach).
DeleteI almost bought the pebble dot Blythe at the clearance center the other day, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it looked like a men's pajama top on me. I had the thought that it would look awesome with yellow or ochre...maybe try it with that, too? It really does look lovely on you, especially with the white bottoms.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Thank you for the suggestion AppGal, I will try it with my yellow bootcuts.
DeleteI liked the feel of the pebble top but figured I would have a difficult time styling it. I like your tonal blues. I would trying layering *over* it, too. :)
ReplyDeleteEma, hi
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to NYC the first week of May. I would love to have some suggestions for anything, ie food, museums, galleries, clothes (but of course!).
Any idea what I might expect for weather?
Thanks
I have that blouse too and love it. I liked it styled with the blue pants and black belt and sweater on you. Looks cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the blouse on you, I have admired it in store, I think the color is terrific!
ReplyDeleteOuuuu love looking at this for ideas! I just scored the same blouse yesterday and I can't wait to wear it. I instantly thought of white pants too :) Going to be great!
